From the Principal

New Egypt Middle School prides
itself in providing our students with a comprehensive educational program consistent
with our district goals and initiatives. All programs are aligned to reflect
The New Jersey Common Core State Standards to ensure the academic success and College
and Career Readiness of all our students.
Serving approximately 357 students in grades 6 – 8, strong emphasis is
placed upon individual student academic, personal and social growth. We believe a successful educational program
requires not only a commitment to a rigorous academic curriculum, but also the
knowledge of the psychological, social and emotional changes adolescents face
within themselves. Our programs and
school culture reflect our true dedication to the “middle school philosophy” by
maintaining high academic expectations while insuring that each individual
needs are met.

Students and teachers are
organized into interdisciplinary teams around the core subject areas of English
Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. Students identified as advanced learners have
the opportunity to receive a more challenging academic schedule through our
advanced leveled courses in all four subject areas. Our comprehensive
curriculum also provide for a wide array of exploratory classes including,
Computer Applications and Programming, Music/Band, Art and Media/Research. In
addition, students are scheduled to receive full year instruction in World
Language and Physical Education/Health.

New Egypt Middle School is committed to cultivating 21st
Century Skills in our students by infusing technology into all content
areas. Through the use of interactive whiteboards, Chromebooks, iPads,
laptops and fully-equipped technology labs, instructional pedagogy has been
enhanced and student learning opportunities have been expanded.

The focus of New Egypt Middle
School’s counseling services is to provide a comprehensive, developmental
school counseling program addressing the academic, career and personal/social
growth of all students. Our counselors
are professional school advocates who provide assistance and encouragement
through individual and group counseling to maximize student ability and
academic achievement. In collaboration
with teachers, administrators, parents or guardians and the community, the
school counselors guarantee all students have access to and are prepared with
the awareness and skills to thrive in life and achieve their goals.

Extracurricular activities offered include those in athletics, the arts and
academic clubs. All students are encouraged to participate in extra-curricular
programs to assist them in becoming well-rounded individuals.

New Egypt Middle School has a
proven record of successfully meeting high standards through diverse programs
and services. Through a coherent staff development initiative our staff will
continue to be trained in various strategies and instructional techniques in an
effort to address the needs of all students.

The students and staff of New
Egypt Middle School are proud of their school and know that strong community
support is a key ingredient to the success of any school. We thank the community for its support and
look forward to working in partnership for the benefit of our students. Our focus and efforts continue to be the achievement
of the vision set forth by the Board of Education, which commits itself to the
academic achievement and social growth of all students.
